Thank you to Yeshivat Noam grandparent Mr. Stephen Flatow for speaking with our eighth graders about the life and loss of his daughter, Alisa Flatow, Hy”d, who was killed by terrorists in a bus bombing in 1995. Mr. Flatow spoke beautifully about how Alisa inspired their family towards religious observance, about the memories of the bombing and about the importance of Israel. Mr. Flatow, who publishes op-eds regularly in the newspaper on behalf of Israel, emphasized the power of activism and the ability of each student to be an advocate for Israel. Thank you Mr. Flatow for sharing your personal story and inspiring message.
